history

Wiesenhofen - former farmhouse

Several prehistoric burial mounds are located in Oberholz east of Wiesenhofen.

Wiesenhofen (= Höfe des Wiso) was first mentioned in a document in 1305 in the Gaimersheim award: In the dispute between the Eichstätter Bishop and Bavaria over the Hirschberg inheritance , the village was awarded to the Hochstift Eichstätt . The Hattenhof is specifically mentioned in this award because of its size. In 1306 the village court was assigned to the bishop. Two representatives of the Wiesenhofer ministerial family are mentioned in a document from the 14th century, namely “G. de Wiesenhofer ”and Albert Wiesenhofer, both feudal owners of episcopal estates in Wiesenhofen and Emmendorf . In addition to the bishopric, the landowners in Wiesenhofen were the Plankstetten monastery with seven estates in 1465 and - with a farm that was acquired after 1644 - the cathedral chapter of Eichstätt. In 1486 the two villages of Wiesenhofen and Kaldorf founded the parish of Wiesenhofen with the approval of the Plankstetten monastery; a church in Wiesenhofen is mentioned as early as 1466. In the 15th century and later, various noble families held the episcopal fiefs, such as the Marschalke von Hirschberg, the Baiersdorfer , the Schenken zu Stossenberg and the Absbergers zu Rumburg . In the Thirty Years War the village was pretty deserted, only two episcopal farms were still in use.

After secularization in 1802, Wiesenhofen formed a community with the neighboring town of Kaldorf. In 1832 Wiesenhofen consisted of 17 houses with 80 inhabitants and a village chapel. In 1900 the village population had grown to 102, the number of residential buildings was unchanged at 17. In 1954 a land consolidation was carried out. On January 1, 1972, the village joined the town of Beilngries as part of the Bavarian regional reform . In 1983 there were 13 farms and a gravel works with 116 inhabitants; the extensive dolomite quarry of Wiesenhofen is located in a forest east of the village.

Wiesenhofen - Visitation of the Virgin Mary

In the Middle Ages, Wiesenhofen belonged to the Plankstetten monastery, but since 1486 it had its own parish under the roof of the monastery. When Haunstetten became a parish in the 17th century, Wiesenhofen was removed from Plankstetten in 1678 and parish into Haunstetten, to which it is still a church today. The village church is basically an early Gothic choir tower church that was consecrated in 1551 . The tower, which collapsed in 1771 and was rebuilt in 1789, shows the stepped gable with a gable roof typical of the area. In 1878 a sacristy was added. In 1884 the church was expanded and raised. In 1899 the cemetery was expanded. In 1902 a Bittner organ came into the church. In the shrine of the four-column high altar there is an important late Gothic statue of Mary from around 1470. The two side altars have two columns. There are also figures in the shrine. The three altars are each provided with an upper picture. A Gothic sacrament house with the head of Christ was built around 1500. A bell dates from the end of the 15th century and was cast by Hans Kandlgieser in Berching . A second was cast in 1710 by Wolfgang W. Schelchshorn in Eichstätt. In 2009, during an interior renovation in the area of ​​the former pulpit, remains of medieval frescoes came to light.
